Diff kind of Executions.....!!!

[Kaotic Rage]

We all know the curb stomp is badass, but wat if they did a random execution style allowing a diff number of possibilities to occur when u push that lil blue X button... I'm more than certain there would be 10 times more people pushing X if the way their foes would die was a "surprise" to even them... just imagine, u push X and u dont know if ur character is going to soccer kick the downed enemy to the face, or slide their weapon to their back reach down with both hands and twist the neck for a bonecrushing snap, or grab the enemies head and slam ur knee right into it, or Curb stomp of course, or even a simple weapon press against the hunched enemys head and "BANG", i mean the possibilities u know... let me hear wat u guys think, or even wat kind of executions ud like 2 see!!!

[S1leNt RIP]

I think thats a great idea! I like the idea of weapon specific executions , like you take your longshot and slam it down on their head, or lift him to his knees and then stand behind and Boltok their head! Or you could kick them over then put a huge gaping hole in their chest with the Gnasher!

[Kaotic Rage]

yea that sounds freaking awesome!!!

[S1leNt RIP]

For sure! And having character specific would be sweet!
Dom reaches down and slits his throat.
Cole grabs the head, steps on the neck and breaks it off, then chucks the head like a football, "Thats oldschool baby!"(Or thrashball)
I would like it if Baird squats down and whispers in its ear..."lobotomized"... then grabs the head and slams the face into the ground with alot of passion!
Marcus would grab the head and shove it into the blood and make 'em drown!

Have Y be for a weapon specific execution but have X be for a random hand/foot/knife/character.

yea all these ideas are cool if we can change or chacthers in gow2 i think that with the touqe bow u should be able to like throw it or something like a boomerang and if they are down u should be able to cut there head of wit it or like stab em but im just spitballin here

[gotitmemorized?]

um.......no.

Is it really worth incorporating all these animations in the game just to make players cringe and laugh once or twice.....and then just get repetitive?

The object of Gears isn't to kill the opponent in the most badass way possible. Let Devil May Cry do that. The object in Gears is to eliminate an opponent, by downing him quickly and finishing him off. Then your team has gained an advantage.

Still not convinced? The Curb Stomp was only implimented for one reason and that reason alone:to finish off an opponent if you jam your weapon before he gets up. When you jam your weapon you can't melee, fire, or even switch to a different weapon. Regardless of what game mode it is you're gonna want to kill him before help arrives and steals your easy kill. So, the curb stomp was implemented so you can be gauranteed that kill. It's quick(especially if you press X the exact moment you down them, which can save time sometimes) and gets the job done.

Now, does "Cole grabs the head, steps on the neck and breaks it off, then chucks the head like a football, "Thats oldschool baby!"(Or thrashball)" Sound like what I just described?

How about "in gow2 i think that with the touqe bow u should be able to like throw it or something like a boomerang and if they are down u should be able to cut there head of wit it "

Come on, are you guys even hearing yourselves?

[ckillerb]

yea we are we are just thinking of cool things that you could be able to do in gears 2 not everyone feels the way we do but some do. We are just haveing fun thinking of stuff, no need to rant man so please if you dont like the thred then dont read It. Why are you going to take the time to rant on people for haveing an opinion?

[ckillerb]

so please if you dont like the thread then go read something else please

Wow...all your points are very valid till this...these extra ones are to KEEP the game from being repetitive. I know that the cole thing is WAY over the top but it's not like I want them to change the time that the old curbstomp took, I just want to be able to do other things in the same amount of time.

Now that I think of it, it would be cool if the "Character specific" ones took a little longer, they would be a cooler way to end a match and an embarasing way to kill an enemy even in the thick of battle.

Don't try and crush our imaginations with your cynicism. Try and come up with a fun one yourself.

I think that the torque bow one is a good idea.

[Kaotic Rage]

o i most definitely agree that each execution should equal in time... especially if done in a random basis- if not ud be F'ed... to go along with downs, i think if u were downed by shots to the legs, u should be able to do a COD4 style last man standing thing... but have ur screen go all crazy in different directions as ur shooting cuz of the amount of pain ur char would be in...

[S1leNt RIP]

I think that thats a good idea. I'm just not sure it would work...that a whole new gameplay element, it just doesn't sound very Gears-ee.

[ckillerb]

thanks silent u a cool dude see he open minded about how the game is going to be or how we want it to be so again why waste time ranting people

[S1leNt RIP]

Why thank you ckillerb!

Even though I may disagree I'm not gonna go crazy...wish more people were like that on interwebz forums.

[ckillerb]

excatly man. hey if u wana add me on xbox my gt is ckillerb as u prolly no and im on like allmost everyday so il be able to hang out.

[Kaotic Rage]

i love Kim's chainsaw!!! he's all "AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!"

[Carnage Soldier]

definetly!

[Officer Green]

At the least, I thought it would be cool if in the options menu you can pick an execution that you wish to use. Let's say that there are 4 executions, and just like you pick your MP character, you can pick your prefered execution. This would be the simplest thing to do compared to doing button combinations or something; just a thought.

thank you officer you a cewl dude you're posting something completely legitimate and not rediculously over the top.

you should add me.

[Kaotic Rage]

Hmmm i like that, as long as theres a neck twisting break move, i like that...

[ATW23]

ya that would be pretty tight

[Arcinatus]

breaking some locusts neck would be awesome...heheh

[Kaotic Rage]

if they end up doing character specific executions, like some guy mentioned before, Dom's shankin the heck outta a locust would be awesome hahahaha, Cole Train Power Bomb!!!!

[Insanity Pirate]

um.......no.

Too true d00d. This makes the game that much harder to design, leaves it open to too many more bugs, and would take too much more time. Instead of focusing on the game, they'll focus on the looks, and you'll end up with some clowny imitation of the game Two Worlds.

The only thing that would be of any REAL use to this would be maybe 1-2 more varied ways of chainsaw killing, like from the back or sides, instead of always from the front no matter what, and in the exact same way.

[cup0607]

yeah i think its fine but definitely would be bad if, as someone said earlier, you would have to press y beacause then you couldnt find your nearest friedly player just for the sake of a cooler curb stomp

[Kung Foo Oyster]

I must say... it would be awesome to see a double execution, like one guy puts his gun against the downed enemy's throat and the other smashes it down so the neck completely breaks or smashes... or even a kick to both sides of the head... *splat*

[Kaotic Rage]

HAHAHA team executions!!! never thought about it and i posted the thing...\ throw a locust into ur teammates revving chainsaw...

[cup0607]

yeah and from the looks of things in the gow2 trailer there are going to be different executions! it looks amazing!

[deathcheckedin]

maybe if you execute with a lancer in hand you hold up the enemies head and slit their throat with the chainsaw

[specops527]

Definitely,
First Idea: You bend down, lift up their face, and stick your pistol in their mouth and fire.
Second idea: You either power drop with your elbow or knee on their back and break it.
Third Idea: You kick them from their hands and knees onto their back and then you stab them with your gun, if its a shotgun you just shoot their chest from the inside, if it's a Lancer you chainsaw their chest from the inside. If it's anything different you either curb stomp or do my first idea.
Fourth Idea: If you have Nades out you open their mouth and violently quickly break their jaw and shove the nade in, then you have to run away.

[specops527]

And as for the Team Execution, both players must press the execution button within a second of each other and one player lifts the enemy up and throws him into an allies chainsaw.

[Kung Foo Oyster]

or two chainsaws going in from each side... ooh

[Skarwind]

don't know about anyone else but i think now that we all know age of Conan will be comin gout soon i think the use of multiple finishing blows would kinda be just mocking off that game since it has at least over 20 different combos depending on your class and gender. Thats just my 2 cents but i think other gamers not necessarily anyone from this forum will agree that after finding out a game having more than 1 or 2 finishing death blows and than being implemented in gears even though God knowing this game is meant for all out violance will be kind of cheap. Personally i like the curb stop method or just wasting a bullet and just shooting them in the head and odn't think they should change it.

[Kung Foo Oyster]

But then again, I mean once their downed... why not take the overkill all the way... and also tenchu came out before age of conan... you could double stealth kill...

[Kaotic Rage]

r u kidding, have u seen some of the age of conans kills, i think gears would stomp on any kind of team executions that game has... how could u compare!

[Skarwind]

I'm not comparing how the kills look just comparing how Age of Conan is using a system of random finishing blows depending on each class. Not saying Gears could not pull it off just saying some people might think it's kind of cheap how AOC is going to use it and if Gears 2 uses it some people could argue that it's a cheap tactic used by EPIC i wouldn't mind seeing Gears have some new stuff for awesome looking kills but just saying that AOC has been in the making since the start of the new century and seeing Gears use it would be kinda cheap lol. I'm not bashing Gears by any means i love the game just saying i also wouldn't want to see this great game copy off another just to make people drool.

[Skarwind]

But then again, I mean once their downed... why not take the overkill all the way... and also tenchu came out before age of conan... you could double stealth kill...

that might be true but tenchu only had about 4 not twenty and also as an assasin there were many ways to kill an opponent. In gears you aren't an assasin you are a soldier who is just trying to survive and at the same time kick ass. Think about it... if a ninja were to kill someoen they would want it to be a quick silent kill. If a soldier on the battlefield were trying to kill someone they would just either A. shoot the guy or B. as in gears chainsaw the f*** out of them.

[KiLLaD3R3K]

Hmmm i like that, as long as theres a neck twisting break move, i like that...

This may not be what you guys are thinking of but wouldn't it be cool if you could get behind someone and than twist there neck?!

That would be good in assasination xD

...I think it would make assasination tight.

[S1leNt RIP]

Vindication baby! Weapon executions here we come! UH! YEAH! Though I still would like a Baird specific execution like I suggested!

[SPARKLES121088]

sound interesting

[Kaotic Rage]

Hahaha, i forgot i had posted this so long ago.... lol, looks like i got my wish after all.... hmmm, well now if they only did custom MP character creation i could die a happy man!!!

[S1leNt RIP]

Either way I propose a High five! *Raises hand*

[target741]

hows about if you want to kill them while their down you can hold X or just tap it just tapping would make a quick animation and the hold would be a slower one, i think that the cole one someguy mentioned as kinda bad becasue kicking the headaway would be annoying as hell. i would prefer if cole could just soccer kick them in the face, and i think a customizable character would be cool like, choosing the animation or whatever

[SoaNaDe]

I seriously like the idea, I don't know why everyone is so worried about not being able to quick melee a downed opponet, it is called shooting them at point black, same difference.
